NAME
     mountd - NFS mount request server

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/etc/rpc.mountd [ -n ]

DESCRIPTION
     mountd is an rpc(4) server that answers filesystem mount requests.  It
     reads the file /etc/xtab (described in exportfs(1M)) to determine which
     filesystems are available to which machines and users.  It also provides
     information as to which clients have filesystems mounted.  This
     information can be printed using the showmount(1M) command.

     Normally, mountd only accepts requests from clients using a privileged
     (i.e. secure) port.  The -n option disables this check and allows mountd
     to accept requests from any port.

     The mountd daemon is normally invoked by inetd(1M).
